Normani, a former member of the popular girl group Fifth Harmony, has opened up about her experiences in the group and her subsequent transition to a solo career. Speaking at a recent event with Keke Palmer and Law Roach for the latter's How to Build a Fashion Icon: Notes on Confidence from the World's Only Image Architect book launch at Neuehouse in Hollywood, Normani discussed the challenges she faced as the only Black woman in the group and the importance of fashion as a form of self-expression.

Reflecting on her time in Fifth Harmony, Normani shared that she felt hidden and often had to "do the most" to be seen. She acknowledged the differences in her experiences compared to her bandmates, who were all white, and emphasized the importance of understanding and respecting individual perspectives.

Normani's solo debut album, "Dopamine," was released in June 2024, and it has been met with critical acclaim. The album features the singles "1:59," "Candy Paint," and "All Yours."

Former Fifth Harmony bandmate Camila Cabello congratulated Normani on her album release, expressing her support and admiration. The pair reunited at Paris Fashion Week, showcasing their ongoing friendship.

While Normani has ruled out a Fifth Harmony reunion for now, she hasn't completely closed the door on the possibility. She expressed that a reunion could be a special moment in the future.

Normani's candid reflections on her experiences in Fifth Harmony and her successful solo career offer valuable insights into the challenges faced by female artists in the music industry. Her journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring musicians and highlights the importance of self-expression and individuality.
